A really interesting career path in that he was playing international RU only three years after playing amateur RL. Hopefully my impression is off the mark but it feels like they’re starting virtually from scratch (again)

Lewis Tierney. Jason Robinson’s offspring rather than Offiah’s.

Flicked between all three and timed the Leeds-Huddersfield game just in time for the comeback. Surely having 300k people watching three games is no worse than 300k people watching one game? There’s no finer sight than going on the Sky EPG and seeing Super League dominating the schedules in a manner that even football can rarely manage. Love having the chance to flick between different games as they’re ongoing. Also having 6 different kick off slots over a weekend would be a nightmare for match-going fans and fixture schedulers alike.

Plenty of people still connect with Lancashire, including myself even though some folk would have you believe I’ve never lived there having been born (well after) 1974. I do feel it would be a bit more of a step back though and the hard work has to go in with the other federations to make the internationals work.

Flawless intel Sometimes truth is stranger than fiction!

Like I posted previously, I had more 10 years of day to day experience of it from 2004-2015 and the Saints/Latics crossover absolutely wasn’t an accident. I know, I was boozing with him after the game on Saturday

And the ones from St Helens find it much easier to support a Wigan team when that team sings about hating Wigan rugby (genuinely). I saw both sides of it on a daily basis for a decade and still didn’t get my head around it.

Esteemed? I’m having that one I have an extended group of about 15 BWFC season ticket holders, all of whom have RL loyalties split between Leigh, Wigan and Warrington. Frequently see RL gear at games, including the English, Irish and Scottish variations of the fabled RLWC21 hats the other week. Very much a relic of the poor relationship between Latics and Warriors. I used to witness it on a daily basis and the whole thing is beyond weird. Born and bred Wiganers supporting Saints because their dad had a gripe about Maurice Lindsay.

Might give us a chance, then.

If they can make it happen with a little more notice then it could turn in to a terrific annual event (and help consolidate support on that side of London)

Ah, fair enough. I work with Rewards4 on a different platform and they have a live API between the two, but I guess that might not be on the new site yet. Worth making sure you’re using the same email address for both, I suppose.

Make sure you’ve gone in to your R4RL account and nominated Grand Final tickets as the item that you’re saving for

Is there a Switzerland option? I went to the WCC and knew for the good of the game that Wigan needed to win, but there was no chance I was actively going to want them to win.

Partly yes as they can’t use the seats anyway. Partly because they didn’t it in other stands for Latics to hide the seats that they can’t give away.

Fair enough, looks as though that only changed last season with a resultant increase in allocation. As mentioned above, the DW has the advantage of being so badly designed at that end that there will be rafts of empty seats at that end regardless which then negates the issues previously mentioned.
